In high school, Kirk was considered a gifted athlete and caught the attention of his coaches, the media and also football scouts from all over the country. It was no surprise that his athletic abilities earned him a number of college scholarship offers. Over the years, Kirk sharpened his entrepreneurial skills. He was a Management Consultant for the Frontier Hotel and Casino and kept it profitable during one of the longest strikes in United States history. Kirk was also a Management Consultant for Southern Nevada Racing Stables, Inc. (SNRS) and RDL Racing Stable (RDL).
Some of Kirk\'s noted highlights include managing the careers of thoroughbred race horses, Interactive and Muscle \'n Mane. Before Interactive\'s notable racing career began, no one thought much of her. Kirk did not share that view. He fought to prevent her from running in a Maiden Claiming race. She won her Maiden Allowance debut at Santa Anita. Interactive went on to become a Graded Stakes placed mare with a 97 Beyer Speed Figure. She also came in second in a Grade 3 Breeder\'s Cup Handicap. In 1989, Kirk pioneered the idea of protecting the rights of the owners of the Frontier Hotel & Casino and Southern Nevada Racing Stable, and the rights of their horses, by forming a racing team. The assembled racing team was a success. His innovative thinking paved the way to countless trips to the Winner\'s Circle. In one season, they had 67 top three finishers in just 117 starts. Interactive\'s owners had their racing silk colors placed on Hollywood Park\'s grandstand, alongside those of some of thoroughbred racing\'s greatest legends.
Muscle \'n Mane started his career in the Maiden Claiming ranks. Similar to Interactive\'s early years, Muscle \'n Mane\'s racing beginning was met with strong criticism. To many, he was nothing special; he was just another claiming horse. With each race, his former owners dropped him into lower ranked claiming races. By the time Kirk\'s wife, Roxanne, claimed Muscle \'n Mane, he had sunk to the $6,250 claiming horse level. Kirk believed in Muscle \'n Mane when others did not. Kirk\'s hands-on commitment coupled with Muscle \'n Mane\'s inherent ability allowed him to excel. Muscle \'n Mane went on to become an Allowance horse at Hollywood Park, with a 90 Beyer Speed Figure.
